Dimensional was founded in 1981 to provide institutions with innovative investment solutions backed by financial science.
Our first strategy gave institutional investors access to US small company stocks to help them expand their investment universe and improve diversification.
Today, institutions can choose from a full range of strategies or customise their approach to cover regions and asset classes around the globe.
We work with all types of institutional clients, with many of these relationships spanning decades. This longevity demonstrates our consistent market philosophy and investment approach, and our commitment to service. Dimensional clients include:
- Superannuation Funds
- Financial Institutions
- Corporate Assets
- Sovereign Wealth Funds
- Insurance Companies
- Endowments and Foundations
- Family Offices
- Consultants
We have a long history of offering investment solutions designed to outperform indexed approaches. Our strategies maintain broad diversification, low costs, and transparency—and pursue higher expected returns by combining research insights with thoughtful portfolio design and flexible, active implementation.
Our systematic, data-driven approach has delivered a strong track record across a full suite of global and regional strategies and through different market environments.

We have designed Dimensional 360 to help you better serve constituents. Use our integrated platform to:
